Is DTC B227C displayed? (Current malfunction)

Yes: Go to 2 .

No: Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT) .
1. Disconnect the P range switch connector.
2. Disconnect the keyless access control module connector.
3. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the P range switch connector and the keyless access control module connector and the chassis ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (i44) No. 1 - (i241) No. 18:
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Go to 3 .

No: Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT) .
1. Disconnect the body integrated unit connector.
2. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the body integrated unit connector and the keyless access control module connector.

No: Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
CHECK DATA MONITOR .
Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the following items on «Data monitor» of «Keyless Access with Push Button Start».
- «Shift P signal(AT only)»
Is it ON when the shift position is in P? Is it OFF when the shift position is in other than P?

Yes: Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
